Man convicted in double-slaying during robbery

FLINT, Mich. (AP) -- A 23-year-old Flint man has been convicted of murder and other charges in a 2010 robbery that left two people dead, including a 15-year-old.

The Genesee County prosecutor's office says Stanley Smith Jr. is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 8 after being convicted Thursday by a jury in the deaths of Porsche Turner and 27-year-old Martarien Wilson. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Authorities say that on Nov. 13, 2010, Smith and another man went to a home to commit an armed robbery and fatally shot the pair.
